Sacramento Museum Day

Now in its 14th year, a record Twenty-eight (28) museums from the greater Sacramento area will be offering free or half price admission for the Annual Sacramento Museum Day. This event is presented by the Sacramento Association of Museums (SAM), and proudly supported by Umpqua Bank. Sacramento Museum Day takes place Saturday February 4, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All participating museums close at 5 p.m. with the last guests admitted at 4 p.m.

NEW for 2012:
Museum Day welcomes two new museums – The Center for Contemporary Art, located at 1519 19th Street in Sacramento; and Sacramento Children’s Museum located at 2701 Prospect Park Drive in Rancho Cordova. Both locations will be open free to the public during Museum Day.

Two regular destinations, Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town, located in William Land Park will offer half-priced admission during Museum Day.

Shuttle busses will not be operating this year. However, several museums are in walking distance of each other. Pick up a Museum Day Guide at any participating Museum for a map to help you plan your day.

Museum Day is a Sacramento cultural tradition and we invite all members of the community to experience the region’s incredible wealth of art, history, science and wildlife at numerous participating museums.
